If, for some reason, this twit broke a tie and switched it to Kerry...that man would have about 24 hours to live.

What are you saying?

Hmmm. You mean each and every elector listed by name? I early voted in my state, and ours just has "electors for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney." Same in 2000. I'm not in Ohio. Ahoy, somebody from Ohio, do you know what your ballot looks like??

Pretty clear to me. I guess I have a clear head.

But then the "twit" is saying his Electoral Vote would go to VP Cheney ... a act that has happened several times in our history.

This "protest vote" crap is all the same ... a childish tantrum ...

Kerry's hat looks brand-new. It probably still has the tag on it. What a faker.

There have been rogue electors before. I think in '88 (maybe even in WV!) there was an elector who said he (she?) would vote for _Bentsen_ for Prez and Dukakis for VP. (Not that it would have mattered, but...)

Assume these three assumption are true:

An elected member of the House of Rep. cannot be in the Electoral College.

The demo's have specifically picked one of their own rep's to be the electoral selection if Kerry wins.

The Ohio demo's can't change the ballot/slate of electoral voters at this time.

...

Do they (the democratics) then viciously attack the electoral college to "avoid" this problem in the future?

Hillary's goal after all, is to have MA+CT+NY+NJ+PA+IL+FL+CA control the country.

Take your starting assumptions as true. Assume Ohio goes for Kerry. The disqualified Elector can then resign, and be replaced by another person willing to cast the vote as pledged. All states have replacement mechanisms to replace electors, in case one of them does not make it to the state capitol at the right time. This is seldom used, but routine.

This is too funny. We have a problem on our side, however, with an elector who will not cast his vote for the President.

Do you have any sources such as a list that confirm Brown is among the Dem nominees for the electoral college? Also, are there any other states with lists out there that we could check? The constitution also bans other persons "holding trust or profit" under the united states from serving so it's possible that other democrat officials could be electors as well. I guess it all depends upon what you define as "holding trust or profit" as. Does that include all bureaucrats as well as officeholders? Congressional staffers? I have no doubt that somewhere in some states there are Dem congressional staffers who ran for elector

Yes.

I can remember looking at the list of electors for the Republicans and a list for the Democrats on the ballot when I voted.

I found a sample ballot for this election for my old precinct, and it appears it's not on the 2004 ballot.

Sorry, that should have been another ineligible elector hanging around "Like a half-poked chad" Took my nyquil AFTER the game last night instead of before. Bad morning.

Maybe you could have some intravenous caffiene and then explain what this sentence means?

"Since when have the rats EVER cared about a little document like the Constitution?"


And therein lies the major source of error, a huge part of the electorate has not the foggiest notion of what the Constitution really says about anything and many have even bought into the "living, breathing, document" crapola.

Check post 71. At the time I posted I fancied a parallel between a hanging chad in Florida and a faithless elector from West Virginia or an ineligible elector from somewhere else.

In hindsight, I'm not sure the parallel is real strong. Go ahead, flame away.

I don't know whether to flame away or laugh myself silly, the sentence I referred to is gibberish. "hanging around out their lick a have poked chad."

I couldn't decipher meaning from that if I stayed up all night trying.

we need to find his email address, then send very pleasant letter to him, let him assume we live in his state. Ask him to please do what the people that gave him his position are the The people of his state, because he was chosen by republicans to represent them, and would expect him to do the right thing and vote for Bush. NOW the reason I think we should be nice is because he has openly complained how mean people have been during this election. Let him get a bunch of nice letters from Republicans.

Legal or not, they will - just as the Dims did in NJ with the Torch.
